Conclusion

 

Conclusion

 

The main reason for my aborting this project

Of the Sic Kunt

Is how tired I am of show offs

We live in a world packed

With extravert celebrities

Usually men

But just so there are some ‘sassy women’

Who grow just as tedious very quickly

There was also the question

Of making one a target of psychos

& highly aggressive people

Who mistake their notion of Sic Kunt

With people who take their image & their ‘code’ really seriously

Whereas my approach is more about

Taking life as it comes

Not seeking to clandestinely profit

Sometimes teaching/healing

Sometimes having some fun

There is also the question

Of me not having suffered enough

I hear a lot about ‘imposter syndrome’

But I think it’s bullshit

I think one would be advised

To be humble

& to recognise

All those others who suffer terrible plights

& listen to them

When my mate says “you don’t give a fuck

You’re off ur chops”

What he’s really saying is

That I’ll talk with anyone

As an equal

& I don’t care for small talk

I’m seeking real human connection

The intimate/infinite

The reality is

I really do care about people & the planet

But I try & live in the present

Continuously

I believe in being receptive & responsive

As the Ancients commended

But in this age

Of ‘Assertiveness training courses’

& ‘strategic communicators’

Let’s just say that all leaves me cold

I’ll say it here & now to those who’ve tagged me

A Sic Kunt

That I’m not even sure I exist

Sure I receive some blows

Quite frequently really

Some might say that’s inevitable

Going so close to the edge

But all that may just be

Universal tides

In a very unorthodox way

  In a very unorthodox way # (For Max Sometimes) In a very unorthodox way, I’m an Irish Catholic. Of course, in terms of Belfast politics that MEANS something. & while that maybe true – in Australia, for different reasons, as Fr Bob Maguire put it – when Mary first saw Jesus walking out of the tomb on day 3 of his death, she exclaimed “JESUS!!!” – the first time his name was used as a swear word. In that way of an irreverent joke, REVERENTIAL & ORTHODOX are not my way to the Sacred/Love*. For me – I’m not really into Theology – as Max Sometimes quoting me, quoting my mate Richard, quoting Bob Marley, quoting Rasta elders, said today “who feels it knows it.” & I believe that if I am to write my Mass/Symphony of Hope/Love, I must include at least one blasphemous hymn, else the vision depicted be simplistic, like George Handel’s Messiah. The Hope/Love represented or perhaps alluded to (if you prefer) must include genuine despair, dejection, transgression else it...

Anagram Schizophrenia In a Numbing Society/Oppression

  Anagram Schizophrenia In a Numbing Society/Oppression   This has gotta come off this band aid’s gotta come off. I’m exhausted. After 52 years of struggle. “Bent out of shape by society’s pliers” to borrow from Dylan. Violence in the womb. Violence from birth. Violence in school. Going to live in the place with the highest murder rate in Europe. Living in a flophouse there. Putting out fires. Literally & figuratively. The literal one that saved everyone’s life in that house. 10 people's lives I saved. Being around generally. Being around. Getting to know people at the bottom. Getting to know people on the ‘wrong side’ of the law Getting to know people on the ‘right side’ Who all jammed together. Rival gang members at my house. Being given a black bandana. A 'hood pass'. Protecting a teenage boy being beaten up by his 6ft 6 Russian stepfather. You know… Friends getting beaten up Friends getting killed   Then what was...
